Battle Prep (Japanese: 決戦に向けて Towards a Decisive Battle) was a group of individual sub-stories of the costume event Poké War Games in Pokémon Masters EX. It was focused on the sync pairs Diantha (Special Costume) & Keldeo, Hilda (Special Costume) & Diancie, Guzma (Special Costume) & Buzzwole, and Jasmine (Special Costume) & Celesteela.
The "Super Spotlight Costume Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Diantha (Special Costume) & Keldeo, Hilda (Special Costume) & Diancie, Guzma (Special Costume) & Buzzwole, and Jasmine (Special Costume) & Celesteela for the duration of the event.
During this event, players could earn Event Vouchers X from battles that could be redeemed in the shop. All battles could be challenged an unlimited number of times except Daily Extreme Battle 1, which could only be challenged once per day. Extra vouchers were automatically exchanged with coins once the event was finished.
The player could battle using Diantha (Special Costume) & Keldeo, Hilda (Special Costume) & Diancie, Guzma (Special Costume) & Buzzwole, or Jasmine (Special Costume) & Celesteela to obtain +0.6× bonus vouchers; Grimsley (Kimono) & Bisharp, Fantina & Mismagius, Glacia & Glalie or Falkner & Swellow to obtain +0.4× bonus vouchers; and Lt. Surge & Voltorb/Electrode, Koga & Crobat, Janine & Ariados, Erika & Vileplume, or any unlisted sync pairs with the Johto, Unova, Kalos or Alola theme skills to obtain +0.2× bonus vouchers.
Battle Prep was a combination of the sub-stories Diantha's Battle Prep, Hilda's Battle Prep, Guzma's Battle Prep, and Jasmine's Battle Prep from the initial run of Poké War Games.

- A Knight's Duel
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| A few days before the day of the Battle of the Golden Spheres... | |
| Wikstrom | This may just be practice for the Battle of the Golden Spheres, but a duel is a duel! We'll be coming at you with no holds barred. Are you sure this is what you want? |
| Diantha | Of course! We're ready to take you on! |
| Wikstrom | Very well! Then let us begin! |
| Kukui | Whoa, two knights are battling it out! So Diantha's with Keldeo and Wikstrom's using Aegislash? I can tell this is gonna be an exciting battle! |
| Wikstrom | You are formidable, but victory shall be ours! |
| Diantha | Keldeo and I will unleash our moves with a force unrivaled! En garde! |
| Ace Trainer | Look at Diantha! She's so cool! |
| Preschooler | Good luck, both of you! |
| Wikstrom | Never surrender! Our true power only starts here! Aegislash! Swing thy blade with all the strength you can muster! |
| Diantha | Counter their attack, Keldeo! Victory will be ours to claim! |
| (The battle ends) | |
| Diantha | Phew! I suppose we can end it here. |
| Wikstrom | That was a fantastic battle! Your attacks still resonate through my soul! |
| Diantha | Your teamwork with Aegislash was very impressive, too! Thank you so much for joining me in this practice session! |
| Kukui | Hey! Those were some sweet moves you had going on there! And not just your battling moves... Your acting was really amazing, too! What a performance! |
| Diantha | Why, thank you for your kind words, Professor! |
| Wikstrom | Did we really have to act throughout this battle, though? It's not as if we're on camera or stage... |
| Diantha | Well, since we're wearing costumes for this event, I figure it's best to let everyone enjoy it, right? Especially if our goal is to promote Pasio. I hope that I can get even more people to watch my battles...not just as a Champion but as an actress, too! |
| Kukui | Based on the looks on everyone's faces now, I'd say you’re right on track to do just that! |
| Diantha | I sure hope so! We still have some time before the event. I'll keep polishing up my moves until then! |
| Wikstrom | What a hardworking lass you are! |
| Diantha | Oh! I may have spotted a worthy opponent! |
| (Guzma walks by) | |
| Diantha | Ahem. You, sir, in the armor! Are you not a warrior of the mightiest caliber? I challenge you to a duel! Why not test your strength against mine? |
| Guzma | What did you just say?! |
| Collector | *gasp* Oh, what a treat! Another chance to watch Diantha battle! |
| Hiker | Diantha! You're the best! |
| Guzma | Hmph. As if I'd back down from you callin' me out in front of all these people! I accept this battle! Bring it on! |
| Diantha | You have my gratitude. Are you ready? |

|---|---|
| Wikstrom | That's the match! It's Diantha's win. |
| Guzma | Guzma! What is wrong with you?! You should've let Buzzwole cut loose and destroy everything! Argh, a loss is a loss. I gotta admit, you won this round. But you'd better be prepared for us to crush you at the event! |
| Diantha | Of course. I'll remember that. |
| (Guzma leaves) | |
| Hiker | Now that's what I call a battle! |
| Beauty | Diantha, you were absolutely stunning! |
| Wikstrom | The audience seems even more hyped up than when we have battles at the Pokémon League! |
| Diantha | I suppose that makes sense. Battling as Champion can sometimes stifle the flair of things, as there's a certain way we're expected to act. |
| Kukui | Ah, I think I understand what you mean! Wearing different hats can be tough, yeah! |
| Diantha | Hm? How would you know that, Professor? |
| Kukui | Uh...I mean, I'm a Professor...but also a Trainer, yeah? So it's like I have to live a double life! |
| Diantha | Oh, I see. I suppose you're right! |
| Kukui | Are you gonna be acting as a knight until the event starts? |
| Diantha | *chuckle* That would be a bit much, even for me! I'll make sure that Diantha the Knight shows up again at just the right moment! |
| Wikstrom | That seems like an excellent plan. |
| Diantha | That way, on the day of the event, I can show everyone the finest acting and battling I have to offer! |

| A few days before the day of the Battle of the Golden Spheres... | |
| Hilda | Wait—I have to battle in this? |
| Jasmine | Mine is hard to walk in... |
| Rosa | Well, we are trying to put on showy battles to promote Pasio, right? More importantly, we've gotta make this fun for everyone watching the livestream! |
| Hilda | Hmm... I wonder how I can make it fun for everyone watching. |
| Rosa | Battling in costumes is a little uncomfortable at first, but you get used to it over time! |
| Jasmine | So you've done something like this before, Rosa? |
| Rosa | Yup! Back in Unova, I got cast in some movies at Pokéstar Studios! |
| Hilda | Pokéstar Studios? That does sound familiar... |
| Jasmine | What kind of place is that? |
| Rosa | Well...it's this studio where they make movies, and I got scouted to act in some films they were making! |
| Jasmine | Wow! You acted in movies? |
| Hilda | You're practically a superstar! |
| Rosa | N-not at all! I'm nowhere near star status! |
| Hilda | But if you have experience in show biz, maybe you can give us some pointers on how to show off our battles on camera! |
| Rosa | Wh-why so serious all of a sudden? |
| Hilda | Well, this is something I've been thinking after seeing Diantha's battles and Lisia's performances... But I hope I can be like them and really make my battles something fun for everyone to watch! |
| Rosa | Hmm... This is just my own opinion, but... I think the most important thing to remember when being filmed is to have lots of fun while you're at it! |
| Hilda | So I should just...enjoy it? |
| Rosa | Of course, acting technique and expressing yourself are important, too! But having fun is number one on my list! |
| Hilda | Y'know, I can see that! Diantha and Lisia always seem like they're having a lot of fun, too! |
| Rosa | Yeah! Why don't you give it a try with a friendly battle? |
| Jasmine | Really?! You mean, right here and now? |
| Rosa | Uh-huh! The best way to learn is to jump right in and give it a go! |
| Hilda | Gotcha! In that case...Jasmine, would you like to have a battle with me? I'm feeling fired up and ready for a battle now! |
| Jasmine | S-sure! I accept! |

| Hilda | Phew... That was a close one! |
| Jasmine | Aw, we lost... |
| Hilda | I did squeeze out a win, but just barely... I gotta keep practicing for the event! |
| Jasmine | Um...I'll also train very hard with Celesteela so we can win at the event, too! |
| Rosa | Awesome! I'll be rooting for you both! |
| ??? | That was an excellent battle. |
| (Sabrina appears) | |
| Sabrina | And those princess costumes look so nice on you two. |
| Hilda | Th-thank you! |
| Sabrina | You've both been chosen as leaders for the Battle of the Golden Spheres, right? Wearing different clothes can make you feel like a different person. I'm a little envious that you get to do that. |
| (Sabrina leaves) | |
| Hilda | You know what? That makes sense! I do feel like a different person! |
| Jasmine | Same here. I feel like I can do so many new things because of this costume! |
| Rosa | Hmmm... |
| Hilda | What's up? |
| Rosa | Huh?! Oh! Nothing! I hope you have loads of fun at the event, just like we did today! I'll be cheering for you both! |
| Hilda | Thanks, Rosa! |
| Jasmine | I-I'm looking forward to battling with you again soon. |
| Hilda | Right back at ya! Let's make it fun for all the spectators, too! |

| A few days before the day of the Battle of the Golden Spheres... | |
| Guzma | Heh! Keep beating 'em down, Buzzwole! |
| Plumeria | Ugh... What an annoying attack. They aren't called Ultra Beasts for nothing, huh. |
| Guzma | Yeah, or so I've heard. |
| Plumeria | So you've heard? I thought that Pokémon was your partner. I can't believe you're battling with a Pokémon that you don't even know anything about. |
| Guzma | Hey, gimme some credit. I did ask Madam Prez about 'em, OK? Buncha complicated stuff, if you ask me, but in short, Ultra Beasts are rad Pokémon from another dimension, yeah? That's all I have to know! My partner's my partner, no matter what it is or where it came from! All that matters is that anyone who crosses us gets a good beatdown! |
| Plumeria | Must be nice, having such a one-track mind. |
| Guzma | All right, let's go again, Buzzwole! Time to destroy 'em even more! |
| Plumeria | W-wait a sec! We need a break. |
| Guzma | Hmph. Pathetic. We're just getting started! |
| Plumeria | Ugh... Not all of us have endless stamina like you two. Why are you so gung ho about this, anyway? It's not like you. When did you start taking events seriously? |
| Guzma | Hmph! As if. I'm not training for the event... I'm doing it for my partner. |
| Plumeria | You mean Buzzwole? |
| Guzma | Yeah. Buzzwole's like us, y'know... An outcast. |
| Plumeria | I guess that makes sense. |
| Guzma | We're similar, so I figured we should team up. And we're gonna prove we're the baddest sync pair there ever was! This Battle of the Golden Spheres thing is the perfect stage to do just that! |
| ??? | Oho! So you're going to work together with your partner, are you? |
| (Diantha and Hala appear) | |
| Guzma | What do you want, old geezer? |
| Diantha | Hello there! Sorry to interrupt, but I've been looking for a training partner to prepare for the upcoming event! If you don't mind, would you care to battle us? |
| Hala | Ho! A battle between you two promising Trainers would be a sight to see indeed! Surely, the great leader of Team Skull wouldn't shrink from a challenge, would he? |
| Guzma | Tch. Fine. |
| Plumeria | Heh. What happened to all that gusto you had earlier, huh? |
| Guzma | I said fine! If we're doin' this, I'm gonna beat you down! You'd best be ready to get crushed! |
| Diantha | Sorry, but I don't plan on losing to you, either! |
| Guzma | Let's go, Buzzwole! We're gonna obliterate 'em! |
- Bring Out the Best
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Diantha | Wow! It's hard to believe you still had so much energy to battle after all that training you did! We'll have to train even harder, won't we, Keldeo? |
| Guzma | Look who's talkin'! You're the one pushin' us to the limit here! We still gotta work out more if this is all we can do. |
| Diantha | Really? It seemed your Buzzwole had enough leisure time to flex and pose during that battle, no? |
| Guzma | Nah, that ain't it. Flexing's just Buzzwole's thing. It's not like it was having an easy time in battle. No matter what I say, that's the one thing it just won't stop doing, even when it's in battle. It can be a pain sometimes, but if Buzzwole's not gonna budge, I just gotta go with it. |
| Hala | I see! So you've decided to bring out the best in your partner! |
| Guzma | That ain't it, old man! If you're done here, buzz off! |
| Hala | Ah, I'm not done yet, actually. Crabominable was watching your battle just now, and it seems like he wants to challenge you, too! Why don't you show us more of what you and your partner can do! |
| Guzma | Heh, bring it on! Time for another beatdown, Buzzwole! |
| Plumeria | Ugh, seriously? You still have the energy for another round? |
| Diantha | Did something happen in the past with those two? |
| Plumeria | Hmph. They're just a pair of clumsy numskulls. |
| Hala | Make them holler, Crabominable! |
| Guzma | That all you got, old man? Smash 'em, Buzzwole! |

| A few days before the day of the Battle of the Golden Spheres... | |
| Jasmine | Um... I was thinking of practicing some moves with Steelix for a bit, and I was wondering... Whoa! Ah, you seem excited...but how do I— |
| Hilda | Hey! Whatcha doin'? |
| Jasmine | Oh! Hi there, Hilda! I was thinking of doing some extra training with my Pokémon. But apparently, Celesteela is what they call an Ultra Beast? So I'm not quite sure what to do... |
| Hilda | I see... So you're not sure how you should battle together, huh. Hold on a sec. I've got an idea! |
| Jasmine | H-Hilda? Where are you going? |
| (Hilda leaves and returns with Lusamine and Steven) | |
| Hilda | If you wanna learn more about Ultra Beasts, maybe we can get some advice from Lusamine! |
| Lusamine | It's a pleasure to meet you, Jasmine. If there's anything I can do, I'd be more than happy to help! |
| Steven | I hope you don't mind that I tagged along. I'm always curious to hear more about rare Pokémon! |
| Jasmine | O-of course! I'd love to have your input, too! |
| Steven | Oh...that pink shine really is something. No wonder they say it's the loveliest sight in the whole world. |
| Hilda | Er...actually, the Pokémon we'd like to talk about is that one over there! |
| Steven | Oh, sorry! I was completely captivated by your Diancie! |
| Lusamine | Tell me, do you think that your Celesteela is different from other Pokémon? |
| Jasmine | Um... Well... |
| Lusamine | It is true that Ultra Beasts have tremendous power, which can be dangerous. But really, that can be said for most other Pokémon, too. There's no need to be scared. |
| Steven | It's good to adapt to what's best for your partner Pokémon, but you shouldn't take it too far. |
| Jasmine | ... ... ... |
| Steven | So really, the answer is quite simple. |
| Lusamine | It doesn't really matter if that Pokémon is an Ultra Beast or not...because it's your precious partner Pokémon! |
| Jasmine | You know what? You're so right! Celesteela is Celesteela. I should be up-front and direct about what I'd like to do, too! |
| Hilda | It looks like you've figured it out! |
| Jasmine | Yes! Thank you for the advice, everyone! |
| Hilda | No prob! Actually...how about we test that out in battle right now? |
| Jasmine | Sure! Let's do it! |

| Jasmine | Yay! We did it, Celesteela! |
| Hilda | Aw, we lost! Oof... I may have created a beast! |
| Steven | *chuckle* Looks like your advice might've made your rival even stronger! |
| Hilda | Yeah, seems so! But I'm still grateful for your help! Battles are more fun when your opponent is strong and worry-free anyway! |
| Steven | Haha! Yeah, I think so, too! |
| Lusamine | I hope you and Celesteela can continue to foster your friendship together. Next time we see each other, I'd love to see just how strong your bond has become! |
| Jasmine | Yes! Thank you so much for all the advice! Oh, and Celesteela! Thanks for battling with me! It looks like you've got a few scuffs... How about I give you a good polishing? After that, we can all get back to training for the event! |
